 The beautiful autumnal flower is just ap- bearing in full beauty; the interest in this late appearing flower grows constantly.
 This season chrysanthemums of choice va riety will bring higher prices than ever be- fore. Florists have heretofore discouraged the sale of this flower, because it prevented their disposing of more profitable ones, A
 
 formerly, but this year the fair timbale d'argent brings fifteen cents a flower. It has been impossible to interfere with the grow ing taste for chrysanthemums; this season they are more fashionable than ever They are very suitably combined with autumn leaves.
 For these only withered falling leaves
 And stricken grasses turned from green to gray.
 The most popular varieties in use this autumn are of large lowered Japanese kinds, the lemon yellow, feathery Gloriosum, the deep yellow, solid, incurved Grandidorum the new amoranth seeding raised by James B. Pitcher, John Thorpe, the white moon light, and the tawny gold and bronze Mrs. 0. H. Wheeler, and Comte de Germiny, the former of which is of 6 leathery fabric and will keep in perfection six weeks if the stems of cut bloom are put in water.
 Jeannie Delane is a mahogany colored chrysanthemum, very rich in combination with the amber whorled PAube Naturale. Admiration and M. Boyer are exquisite shades of rose pink. Of all the anemone lowered chrysanthemums which have cushion-like centers, the golden Thorpe, jr., white Princess, buff Sunhower and crimson King of Anemones are the most gorgeous. The Pompon varieties have many charming representatives, such as black Douglas, white Desiru, blush Mrs. E. Dordau and crimson Rubra Perfecta. The kinds named may be depended upon for beauty as the finest by those desiring to obtain good specimens of this flower.
 The greatest novelty ever known in chrys- anthemums will be displayed this year. It is Japanese variety of deep amaranth color, Leopard.
